Earl Hines
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
The pianist Earl Hines came from near Pittsburgh and played in Chicago from 1925. In 1928 he recorded the Hot Five records with Louis Armstrong; their duet Weather Bird is regarded as a high point. With his right hand Hines played lines in octaves that sounded like a trumpet, so that they cut through a band. This is why people spoke of his 'trumpet style'. He interrupted the steady stride accompaniment of the left hand and played with greater rhythmic freedom. From 1928 he led a big band at the Grand Terrace in Chicago for more than ten years. In the early 1940s Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan played in his orchestra. In the 1960s he enjoyed a second career as a soloist.
